Further, the viewing end request can be sent by pressing the viewing end button 214 shown in FIG. 6.

Then, the object display unit 420 displays the first object corresponding to the first gift in the video based on the first gift display request transmitted from the viewing user terminal (viewing user terminal 200).

As an example, it is assumed that the viewing user selects the first gift from the list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 200 by pressing the gift button 208 and requests the display.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen 215 showing a list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 200. As shown in FIG. 7, gifts can be displayed by classification (free gifts, paid gifts, accessories, support goods, appeals, variety items, etc.).

Here, a paid gift is a gift that can be purchased by consuming My Coins purchased by the viewing user, and a free gift is a gift that can be obtained without consuming or consuming My Points that the viewing user obtained for free. .

As an example, the first gift is a snowball gift for displaying a snowball object SB1 representing a snowball, as shown in FIG. 8(a).

As another example, the first gift is a bun gift for displaying a bun object DP1 representing a bun, as shown in FIG. 9(a).

However, the first gift and the first object are not limited to the above examples, and may have any shape as long as they can display the third object in relation to the second object described later. It may be an object.

Then, the determination unit 430 determines whether the first object displayed by the object display unit 420 is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object already displayed in the video.

As an example, the second object can be the same snowball object SB2 as the first object, as shown in FIG. 8(b). That is, the first object already displayed in the video becomes the second object.

Further, the second object may be an object SB3 in the form of a plurality of snowballs, which are the first object, piled up, as shown in FIG. 8(c). Alternatively, the second object may be a snowball object SB4 that is larger than the first object, which is the snowball object, as shown in FIG. 8(d).

Note that both of these second objects may be displayed in response to a first gift display request. That is, as shown in FIG. 8(d), when there is a request to display the first gift for the first time in one video, the large snowball object SB4 is displayed, and from the second time onwards, the first gift is displayed. A snowball object SB1 smaller than the object corresponding to the first gift request may be displayed.

As another example, the second object may be the same bun object DP2 as the first object, as shown in FIG. 9(b). That is, the first object already displayed in the video becomes the second object.

Further, the second object may be an object DP3 in which the first object, the bun object, is arranged or stacked, as shown in FIG. 9(c). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9(d), the second object may be a pedestal object DP4 on which the first object, the bun object, is stacked.

Note that both of these second objects may be displayed in response to a first gift display request. That is, as shown in FIG. 9(d), when there is a request to display the first gift for the first time in one video, the pedestal object DP4 is displayed, and from the second time onward, the first gift for the first time is displayed. A bun object DP1 different from the object corresponding to the gift request may be displayed. Additionally, if there is a second request to display the first gift, an object with three buns lined up will be displayed, and if there is a third request to display the first gift, It may be configured such that an object with two buns lined up is displayed, and when there is a fourth request to display the first gift, an object with one bun is displayed. Note that the number of buns is not particularly limited to the above example.

The information regarding the first object includes at least identification information specifying the type of the first object and position information indicating the position where the object is displayed. The first object is then displayed in the specified position in the specified type of shape based on the information regarding the first object. Whether the first object is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object already displayed in the video is determined by the three-dimensional or two-dimensional coordinates of the position where the second object is displayed and This is determined by comparing the three-dimensional or two-dimensional coordinates of the position where one object is displayed.

Further, although the predetermined distance is not particularly limited, it is preferably determined in consideration of ease of viewing by viewing users or distribution users. As an example, the predetermined distance may be set based on the screen size of the video and the size of the object.

Furthermore, the first object may be displayed in a manner that it moves from the top of the screen to the bottom, from the bottom to the top, from the left to the right, from the right to the left, from the back of the screen to the front, or , may be displayed in a manner that moves from the front to the back of the screen.

Then, when the determination unit 430 determines that the first object is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object, the object display unit 420 displays the first object and the second object as a third object. It is characterized in that it is displayed after being changed to .

As an example, when the first object is a snowball object SB1, the third object can be a snowman object SM as shown in FIG.

Alternatively, when the first object is the bun object DP1, the third object can be the rabbit object RB as shown in FIG. 11.

Note that when the determination unit 430 determines that the first object is not displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object, the object display unit 420 displays the first object and the second object as a third object. The first object is displayed at a predetermined position on the screen without changing its display mode until a predetermined period of time has elapsed, just like a normal gift object.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or alleviates at least part of the problems of the prior art described above. Specifically, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the viewing user's motivation for gifting.

Moreover, according to the above configuration, by changing the display of gifts, it is possible to increase the interest of gifting and increase the viewing user's desire for gifting.

Further, one or more computer processors according to the present disclosure can further include a measuring section 440 and a number of times determining section 450, as shown in FIG.

When a plurality of first objects are displayed by the object display section 420, the measuring section 440 calculates a predetermined value from one or more second objects already displayed in the video with respect to the plurality of first objects. Measures the number of times it is determined that the object is displayed within the distance.

The number of times determining unit 450 determines whether the number of times measured by the measuring unit 440 has reached a prescribed number of times.

At this time, it is preferable that the prescribed number of times be set based on the screen size of the moving image. That is, it is preferable that the prescribed number of times be varied depending on whether the screen size of the moving image to be displayed is vertical or horizontal. For example, when the screen size is vertically long, the specified number of times is three, whereas when the screen size is horizontally long, the specified number of times is two.

Then, when the number of times determination section 450 determines that the number of times has reached the specified number of times, the object display section 420 can change the first object and the second object to a third object and display the third object. .

Further, when the number of times determining unit 450 determines that the number of times has not reached the specified number of times, and before the number of times determining unit 450 determines that the number of times has reached the specified number of times, the object display unit 420 One object can be displayed by touching a second object.

The position where the first object is brought into contact with the second object is not particularly limited, but as an example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first object may be stacked on top of the second object. It can be displayed by touching it in a certain manner.

Here, an example in which the prescribed number of times is three will be specifically explained with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the object display unit 420 displays a second snowball object (first object) where the first snowball object (second object) SB2 is displayed. When SB1 is displayed (S20), if the determination unit 430 determines that these are within a predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the second snowball object SB1 is closer to the first snowball object SB2. They are displayed in such a manner that they are stacked on top of each other (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the number of measurements, which is the determined number of times, to one (S50).

Then, the number of times determining unit 450 determines that the number of times of measurement (1 time) by the measuring unit 440 has not reached the specified number of times (3 times) (No in S60), and the next snowball object (first object) SB1 is Wait for display.

Note that if the determination unit 430 determines in S30 that the snowball object SB2 and the snowball object SB1 are not within the predetermined distance (No in S30), the second snowball object SB1 is replaced by the first snowball. The snowball object SB1 is not displayed in a display manner such that it is stacked on top of the object SB2, but is displayed at a different position until the display ends (S70).

Next, the object display section 420 displays a third snowball object where the first snowball object and the second snowball object SB2 (here, the two objects together are assumed to be the second object). When the snowball object (first object) SB1 is displayed (S20), if the determination unit 430 determines that these objects are within a predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the third snowball object SB1 is displayed. The snowball object SB2 is displayed in such a manner that it is stacked on top of the second snowball object SB2 (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the number of measurements, which is the determined number of times, to two (S50).

Then, the number of times determining unit 450 determines that the number of times of measurement (2 times) by the measuring unit 440 has not reached the specified number of times (3 times) (No in S60), and the next snowball object (first object) SB1 is Wait for display.

Note that if the determination unit 430 determines in S30 that these are not within the predetermined distance (No in S30), the third snowball object SB1 is stacked on top of the second snowball object SB2. It is not displayed in the display mode, but is displayed in a different position as a single snowball object SB1 until the display ends (S70).

Finally, the object display section 420 displays the first snowball object, the second snowball object, and the third snowball object SB2 (here, the three are collectively referred to as the second object). If the fourth snowball object (first object) SB1 is displayed where the object is located (S20), and the determination unit 430 determines that these objects are within a predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the fourth snowball object (first object) SB1 is displayed. The third snowball object SB1 is displayed in a display manner such that it is stacked on top of the third snowball object SB2 (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the number of measurements, which is the determined number of times, to three (S50).

Then, the number of times determining unit 450 determines that the number of times of measurement (3 times) by the measuring unit 440 has reached the specified number of times (3 times) (Yes in S60), and the object display unit 420 displays the snowball object SB1 and the snowball object. SB2 is changed to a third object, a snowman object SM, and displayed.

Note that if the determining unit 430 determines in S30 that these are not within the predetermined distance (No in S30), the fourth snowball object SB1 is stacked on top of the third snowball object SB2. It is not displayed in the display mode, but is displayed in a different position as a single snowball object SB1 until the display ends (S70).

In the above example, all of the first objects that are already displayed are used as second objects, but only the immediately preceding first object may be used as the second object.

Further, the prescribed number of times may be three or more times, or may be less than three times. In particular, when the specified number of times is 1, if a second snowman is piled on top of the first snowman, a small snowman will be formed, if a third snowman is piled on top of the first snowman, a medium-sized snowman will be formed, and a fourth snowman will be formed into a medium-sized snowman. The display mode of the first object and the second object may change each time, such as when piled up to form a large snowman.

It can also be expressed as a step-by-step evolution from a snowman to a snow monster, or it can be expressed as a change from a bun to a rabbit, or from a rabbit to the moon, which are conceptually connected. .

Further, when displaying the third object, effects such as sound effects and smoke may be added.

Further, the object display unit 420 can display at least a portion of the third object so as to cover the head of the character object and follow the movement of the head of the character object.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example in which the head of the character object CO is covered with the lowest part of the body of the snowman object SM. Note that before changing to the snowman object SM, the piled up snowball object is displayed in a piled state on the head of the character object CO. When the head of the character object CO tilts to the right, the snowman object SM is displayed so as to follow the tilt to the right.

Furthermore, while the third object is being displayed, the object display unit 420 preferably prohibits the display of the first object based on a further request to display the first gift.

In this case, the viewing user's request to display the first gift is accepted. Note that a time limit may be set for the period during which this display is prohibited, and the objects may be displayed again starting from the first object after the predetermined time limit has passed. At this time, display requests that have already been made are placed on standby as a queue.

Alternatively, the one or more computer processors in the present disclosure may prohibit acceptance of further requests to display the first gift while the third object is being displayed.

In this case, the viewing user's request to display the first gift is not accepted. At this time, the gift list displayed on the viewing user terminal is displayed in such a manner that the first gift whose display request is prohibited cannot be selected.

Further, the object display unit 420 can display the first object based on the designation of the initial display position of the first object transmitted from the viewing user terminal.

As shown in FIG. 15, the head of the character object CO can be moved based on the movement of the broadcasting user, but when the viewing user specifies the initial display position of the first object, It becomes possible to provide the fun of making it easier or harder to get closer to the second object, thereby invigorating communication between the distribution user and the viewing user.

Further, the object display section 420 can display the third object so as to be attached to a specific part of the character object.

That is, the third object functions as a wearable gift. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the third object can be used by being attached to the head of the character object. Note that this attachment may be performed after obtaining permission from the distribution user.

Alternatively, the object display unit 420 can display the third object so as to be placed in the space within the video.

That is, the third object functions as a non-wearable gift. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the third object may be placed at a predetermined position in the virtual space within the video instead of being worn by the character object.

Note that in the above embodiment, an example in which the first object is a snowball object has been described, but the first object may be displayed as an animation of a plurality of snowflakes or crystals falling. At this time, the snowman object may be attached to the head of the character object when the reproduction of the animation ends or when the snow flakes or crystals come into contact with the character object.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example was explained in which the displayed object gradually changes in response to a display request for the same first gift. It may also be a type of gift that can change the displayed object.

To explain specifically using the example of a snowman object, after a snowman object is attached to the head of a character object in response to a request to display a snowball gift, a request to display an icicle gift is made, and the icicles move from the top to the bottom of the screen. The snowman object may be configured to grow larger if it comes into contact with the snowman object while falling. At this time, it is assumed that the icicle gift and the snowball gift are managed in association with each other.

An example of such a management method is to assign the same attribute called "ice attribute" to icicle gifts and snowball gifts. In addition to the "ice attribute," various attributes can be attached to such attributes, such as "sweets attribute," "water attribute," "fire attribute," and "food attribute."
